Technology can't save you from famines when there isn't enough sunlight to grow crops for a season or two. One good supervolcano and civilization might collapse or at least take such a hit as to be utterly transformed. Billions dead, etc.

Technology is the only thing that can save anyone from that type of situation. Prayer sure wouldn’t help!
